2017 Map of Lecoma

About this map

The small communities of Lecoma, Lake Spring, and Hobson define the rural landscape of this region on the border of Phelps and Dent counties. The area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including Dry Fork, Little Dry Fork, and Hyer Br, which cut through the Ozark terrain and shape the local road system. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Elk Prairie Cem, Coppedge Cem, and Lennox Cem, provides significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage in this part of Missouri. The presence of the Harrison Private Airport near Schuman Ridge and several small reservoirs like Fabick Lake and Highway Lake highlight the mix of private land use and natural resources that sustain these upland settlements.
